My vote was 'other'. Illinois has "Pick 'n Play" games where you pick a game, $2, $3, or $5, and you get a game card and then a print out that looks like a lottery ticket. That's the "results" for your card. There's varied games, poker is a popular one. I've never won anything on these, and never saw anyone else win, either. I haven't played them for a long time. It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!

I dislike them all except for the P5 games. The P3 and P4 games are not life changing. What one can win with those games won't do much more than pay for a good steak dinner for the family. As for PB and MM, the odds are just too great. Unless the jackpot is extremely high, I see no advantage in throwing a dollar their way. Now the 5/39 game, in most states, is different. Win the one in Illinois or George and you might pay off the mortgage or buy a new car. $100,000 + is a lot of money; enough to throw a dollar toward several times a week. | | |

I tried these games 3 or 4 times and decided they weren't worth it. I voted scratch off because here in Illinois they just don't seem to pay off very well. A dollar ticket usually gets you a free ticket, 2 dollar ticket isn't much better. I took a chance on a 20 dollar ticket and won 25$. With California scratchers I used to win 20, 15, 10, 8 , 5 and 2 dollars on dollar tickets. And I managed to win 100 and 200 dollars on 2 dollar tickets. ( I don't know if they still pay this well.) | | |

Come to think of it, I'd like to add another "other" - pull tabs. I've only seen them in Kentucky, in vending machines where lottos is sold, and I have never seen anyone win anything on one. I forget if they are 25 or 50 cents, as the machinrs take quarters. It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!

NC had such low amounts for winning scratch-offs, that Virginia and South Carolina scratch-offs were more popular in NC. However, they did listen and changed the odds to be better. However, the biggest I've ever won is $14 - and I was pretty excited about that since I was expecting only $7 (it got doubled). I've definitely spent more than that on scratch-offs, but I play them, maybe two every other month. The lower the cost, the better I've won (woohoo - I won $2!!). | | |

I know the odd is astrnomical, but I prefer jackpot games. I really liked to play CA Super Lotto, but after Megamillions was introduced in CA, Super Lotto became less and less attractive to play. | | |

I would say scratch offs is also my choice. I don't really like playing them that much. "No one remembers the person who almost climbed the mountain, only the person who eventually gets to the top."

I don't care for scratch offs either. I like to be proactive. I don't get the same satisfaction by throwing money on a store counter hoping I was lucky enough to buy something that is predetermined to be a loser or winner already. I like to think I have accomplished something more when I beat the odds by choosing the right combo to play out of a 1000 possibilities. Not only that, but I enjoy pitting my tracking and pattern recognition skills against something that is suppose to be totally random. If I can actually accomplish that is subject to debate, but I enjoy it all the same. | | |
